Abstracts generic data storage and access to it in an extensible and efficient way.
It comes with pre-defined types for numbers, arrays, lists, hashes, blobs and structs. It is able to convert between data types, including to string.
It is meant for simple data types, providing uniform access and release functions, useful to exchange data preserving their types. For more complex hierarchical data, with properties and children, reference counting, inheritance and interfaces,
Examples of usage of the Eina_Value API:
| #define EINA_VALUE_EMPTY ((Eina_Value){ NULL, { { 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 } } }) |
This is simply a value with all memory zeroed.
It may be used to safely initialize or return a value without a type.
Store generic values.
Describes the data contained by the value.
Union of all known value types.
This is only used to specify the minimum payload memory for Eina_Value.

manages array type.
Use the value get/set for arrays:
eina_value_set() takes an Eina_Value_Array where just subtype and step are used. If there is an array, it will be copied (including each item) and its contents must be properly configurable as subtype expects. eina_value_pset() takes a pointer to an Eina_Value_Array. For your convenience, use eina_value_array_setup().
eina_value_get() and eina_value_pget() takes a pointer to Eina_Value_Array, it's an exact copy of the current structure in use by value, no copies are done.

manages list type.
Use the value get/set for lists:
eina_value_set() takes an Eina_Value_List where just subtype is used. If there is an list, it will be copied (including each item) and its contents must be properly configurable as subtype expects. eina_value_pset() takes a pointer to an Eina_Value_List.

manages hash type.
Use the value get/set for hashes:
eina_value_set() takes an Eina_Value_Hash where just subtype and buckets_power_size are used. If there is an hash, it will be copied (including each item) and its contents must be properly configurable as subtype expects. eina_value_pset() takes a pointer to an Eina_Value_Hash. For your convenience, use eina_value_hash_setup().
